The Week in Review is a weekend feature which casts a gaze over the week which has just been, hoping to point your eyes in the direction of news, features, videos and reviews worthy of your time.

Thank god you returned. I was worried last week's effort would have put some off for life. Yes, it's time for another round-up of all the most interesting bits and bobs from the week just been, and in no way is this a feature designed to point readers in the direction of words which clearly haven't been read by enough people.

Activison certainly does have some clout in the video games industry. Every time we mention Activision here on VideoGamer.com we have to go kiss a life size gold bust of Bobby Kotick – it leaves a horrible taste in your mouth.

We're all big kids at heart so we were chuffed to bits with news of three new video game toy ranges this week. Warcraft geeks get to pretend their bedroom floor is Azeroth thanks to a new set of WoW construction toys, and Halo Xbots can imagine a more fulfilled life by purchasing some rad toys based on the vehicles from the series. All bets are, however, off if the LEGO Portal set becomes a reality. If you need a minute to calm yourself watch this video of men kicking balls.

Matt emailed to say: "A healthy mixture of intellectual discussion and hilarity in one package. Probably one of my favourite episodes in awhile." Before adding. "Dave's got a problem." Yes, yes he has.
